Personally, I’m not a fan of RIO but I do see where it has become a necessity for those wanting to push into higher keys.
The whole discussion seems mired down and missing the real point. That as a tool, it has become abused by lowish groups to start rejecting people waiting for that 2.5k player or higher to join them and carry them.
I have seen instances where people have been trying to get into run at their appropriate experience level 8-12+ get rejected by groups that have a pretty shitty score themselves. And this is where the hatred of io comes into play.
Telling people to do more runs and get better becomes redundant when the greater community are so reliant upon the scoring at low levels that people wanting to build their score and are of equal level to those posting the run get rejected.
I don’t know how to fix it, and I can see why this then encourages people to buy boosts.
But when the tool is being abused by gronks who have no idea and reject people with equal score to them at lower keys - it leads to these kinds of forum posts.
It’s just like seeing someone with no AOTC trying to put together a mythic raid and asking for experience and rejecting people because they’re not x/12M exp’Ed.
